Help find missing Skye

Police have renewed calls for help to find 13-year-old Skye Kiervan, who has been missing from her Keilor home since June 30. She is believed to be in the Melton, Ballarat or Werribee areas after numerous sightings. She is Caucasian, 155cm tall, with a thin build and shoulder-length, straight brown hair. Anyone who has seen Skye is urged to call triple-0 immediately.

Fifth man charged over death

A fifth man has been charged with the murder of Deer Park man Michael Sleiman in an alleged gang attack on Australia Day. Bekim Muhtari, 29, of Hillside, faced an out-of-sessions court last Tuesday charged with murder following pre-dawn police raids on Rebels bikie gang properties across Melbourne. Others questioned over Mr Sleiman’s death were freed pending further inquiries.
